cars are basically like "Severance" where you step into them and become a completely different - and more violent - person.

Progressive ideas win elections. Turns out, fighting for what people actually want is pretty popular.

The WAR ON WALKING has taken many forms around the world. It’s often as simple as how we signal who space is and isn’t for. Once our eyes are opened to all the ways we’ve prioritized cars over people, we can’t unsee it. Frustrating photo contributed by @stadsplanering.bsky.social. #WarOnWalking
Background photo from North Macedonia, where “sidewalks are mostly used to park cars” as explained by photo contributor Carl-Henrik Barnekow. Text says “Don’t buy the lie that there’s a war on cars. They’ve been waging a war on walking for a century.” Via the Urban Truth Collective. #WarOnCars #UrbanTruth

Yeah, well, voters are idiots, we've learned. If you watched Kamala on the trail and didn't think that was her true, impassioned self, you're lost. Fortunately, anyone with D in front of their name will fare better next time around since the economy continues to worsen.

Correct. The media dogged Biden for the rest of his term after a suicide bomber killed 13 soldiers even though there was nothing the military could have done anything about it, but it was Biden's fault. 18 soldiers die in a war Trump started and he calls it "small potatoes" and the media yawns.

Even with headphones/earbuds, a person on a bike is far more aware of their surroundings than a driver in a soundproofed car. This is a distraction from the real issue of safe, mode separated infrastructure. Much like the helmet debate, it puts the burden on the rider instead of the infra design.

Cyclists can hear more with earbuds in than drivers can hear with the windows up and the radio off. The earbuds are not going to kill them. Taking earbuds out won't stop a driver from rear-ending or sideswiping them.

If you really believed this and took cyclist safety seriously there are a range of other things you could focus on that would make biking safer. I'm so tired of this concern trolling while lawmakers ignore the regular and obvious dangers posed by drivers.
“As chairman of the Oireachtas Committee on Transport, I want to seek your views on something I’ve noticed more and more — cyclists are among the most vulnerable road users, and we have a real duty of care to protect them on Irish roads, but I regularly see cyclists wearing headphones or earbuds and for me that raises a really important question: Does the use of headphones or earbuds reduce your awareness around you?” he said in a video posted to Facebook and Instagram.

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life. Common sense. Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

I don’t know why we keep building car lanes when nobody even uses them.
A road that’s eight car lanes wide, mostly empty except for a handful of cars in the distance. Cars sit in a dealership lot along the side of the road, unsold.
